Manoir Anoir France
Holiday Home Rental Description
This elegant C15th Manoir, partially moated and set in the centre of 52 acres of beautiful park and fields, has been lavishly decorated with exquisite antiques, custom sofas and chairs, Persian carpets, Chinese porcelains and oil paintings. A 15th century gigantic working fireplace warms the evenings and the private exclusive large swimming pool cools you during the day.
Flowers grace every room and meals can be provided by two New York chefs, though if you feel like stepping up to the plate (or the stove) yourself the kitchen is kitted out with every modern convenience and stocked with all herbs, spices, vinegars and oils.
Take a ride out into the countryside on the bikes provided or fire up the BBQ in the garden – either way, you’ll be in a calm, relaxing and carefree atmosphere for children and adults alike. The nearby city of Saumur provides nightlife and and a great range of dining options, and Tours and Angers are only 50 minutes by car for a bigger city experience. The train station in Saumur is only 12 minutes from the house, which itself is a mere two hours from Paris.
The village is a quick eight minute walk from the house, where you’ll find a grocery store, a bakery, newsagents, a service garage along with two restaurants and bars. Tennis is only fifteen minutes away, with bike paths, walking trails, and a golf course all within half an hour. Canoeing and river cruises are available as well as the opportunity to explore some splendid Châteaux and churches.The owners, Steven and Bruce, have been in the service business for 30 years both in France, England and New York City. Meals may be provided at an extra charge with two days notice. A large selection of menus are available to choose from. Bruce cooks mouth-watering dishes while Steven will attend to your table – though whether that’s outside under the large tree in the shade or in the dining room is up to you! Dining music is provided as well as a large library of other choices of music. Candle light and fresh flowers everywhere make Manoir Anoir rich in every detail.
